It seems I heard a comment on here or some other forum awhile back that Larrivee's end pin is oversized and uses a 1/2" hole - can anyone confirm this? I'll be putting a JJB 330 pickup system in my new 000-40r that s coming next week and that would really make things a lot simpler. I've enlarged lots of end pin holes over the years and it doesn't scare me but this would make it simpler, if true.

Vancouver built guitars were drilled out at 15/32". Currently, all California guitars are drilled out at 1/2". Either of them will be fine.

My 2000 D-02 only has strap button as well. The O-01MH is just a small screw hole. The Forum III and OO-40R have the two piece end pin. One of those will get the K&K pure mini that I have on the bench. Just can't decide which one.
